This fabric reminded me of my blue & white porcelain collection of vases, teapots, and dishes on display in the dining room. It didn't seem right to make this into a flared skirt, so I opted for a pencil shape with the deep side pleats for tummy hiding.

My husband thought it was strange that I got inspired by dishes, LOL.

ReplyDeleteLove the print and it was funny that you got inspired by a dish :)

The print is so pretty! Blue and white is very pleasing to the eye.... it also reminds me of French toile, one of my favorite kinds of prints. I think I find most of my fashion inspiration from food or animals at the zoo, haha ;)
ReplyDeleteSPG that's a gorgeous skirt!! The colors are so pretty and the pattern is so ladylike.
ReplyDeleteSuper excited for you and your famiy's move to sunny CA and wishing you guys a wonderful move! :D
I get inspirations from everything...whether it be the color palate from paintings, nature, etc :D
Hope you are having a great weekend so far! xoxo, Phoebe

That's great work, pencil skirt looks really stylish. Not too keen on the belt though.

BEAUTIFUL skirt - the shape and the pattern is so unique! Good luck on the move. May it be stres-free. And I get inspiration from bloggers, like you! You inspire me to try DIY :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm a huge fan of blue and white porcelain. Probably mystifying to the menfolk where we draw our inspiration from. I like how you pair with white a plain tailored shirt.
ReplyDeleteyou are beyond cute in this post. that skirt is so adorable!! and i laughed at what your husband said about the plates. :)

i think jcrew had a similar print too last season.
ReplyDeleteI love that skirt! The print is fantastic...I remember a few years ago there was a fabulous dress with that style of print worn by a few celebrities...I just can't remember who the designer was. I want to say Oscar de la Renta...but I'm not so sure...but regardless it was an amazing dress, and that is an amazing skirt!
